Description

The Nokia Lumia 930 is a Lumia Icon look-alike smartphone with a 5-inch 1080 x 1920-pixel AMOLED display, a 20-megapixel PureView camera, and a few software tricks up its sleeve. The Lumia 930 will ship with Windows Phone 8.1 on board, and it comes with metallic elements on the side, plus it also supports wireless charging. In addition, just like many other Lumias, it captures outstanding sound thanks to its advanced (likely, HAAC microphone) that also support directional stereo recording.

Pros

Supports wireless charging

Cons

Very good for everyday use

I have switched from Galaxy S5 to this one. Works a lot smoother, less buggy, more user friendly (especially calendar integration), much better battery lifetime. No annoying lights blinking and at sounds at night because the battery is full. Also the camera is faster. No way I am ever switching back to Android.
